Vasco secure another victory

Vasco de Gama stretched their 100% Campeonato record to four matches to go two points clear at the top of the table with a 2-1 win at Bahia.

Juninho put the pace-setters ahead in the seventh minute, with Diego Souza
adding a second in the 31st minute. Bahia grabbed their consolation in the last minute through substitute Junior
Pipoca.

Gremio moved into third with their third win of the season, 2-0 against
rock-bottom Corinthians. Marcos Antonio (22) and Andre Lima (30) were the scorers.

Both teams had a man sent off as Nautico Recife beat Botafogo 3-2, Wanderley
Derley with the 83rd-minute winner.

Nautico went two ahead through Clemerson Araujo (17) and Carlos Lucio (32) only
to see Marcio Rosario sent off eight minutes into the second half. A Marcio Azevedo effort and a Cesinha own-goal tied matters before the former
saw red 12 minutes from time, paving the way for Wanderley's winner.
